An off-duty police officer who was carrying his young child in a California Costco store ended up shooting and killing a man who attacked him, authorities say.
Kenneth French, 32, assaulted the Los Angeles Police Department officer Friday night while he was holding his young child inside the Costco Wholesale warehouse store in Corona.
Police said the officer, who hasn't been named, fired his gun at French following an altercation that witnesses say took place in the freezer section.
French was killed and two of his relatives were injured after being struck by gunfire.
The relatives are in critical conditions at hospitals.

The officer was treated and released at a nearby hospital and the officer's child was not injured.
Police said the off-duty officer was the only one who fired shots in the store.
The shooting prompted a stampede of frightened shoppers to flee the store east of Los Angeles and seek cover inside.
